| UniProt functional annotation for Q5SHN8 | |||
| UniProt code: Q5SHN8. |
| Organism: | Thermus thermophilus (strain ATCC 27634 / DSM 579 / HB8). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Deinococcus-Thermus; Deinococci; Thermales; Thermaceae; Thermus. | |
| Function: | One of the primary rRNA binding proteins, it binds directly near the 3'-end of the 23S rRNA, where it nucleates assembly of the 50S subunit. {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Subunit: | Part of the 50S ribosomal subunit. Forms a cluster with proteins L14 and L19. | |
| Ptm: | The mass differences between the observed and calculated masses are suggested to be due to methylation, which is known to occur in the E.coli and R.palustris orthologs. | |
| Mass spectrometry: | Mass=22437; Method=MALDI; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:16287167}; | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the universal ribosomal protein uL3 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
